Question

To stop a car, the brakes on each wheel must dissipate a lot of energy in a short time. The disc brake rotor can get hot, about 1100°F (850 K). A rotor has an inner radius of 0.1 m and an outer radius of 0.38 m. Find the power dissipated by the four brake rotors through radiation (glowing) in both Watts and Horse Power.

*Note: Each rotor has TWO sides.*

**Images:**

1. **Car with Glowing Brake Rotor:** The image shows a car with its brake rotor glowing due to the high temperature when the brakes are applied.

2. **Rotor Diagram:** An illustration of a brake rotor. The diagram depicts a disc brake rotor highlighting its circular shape and dual-sided nature, relevant to understanding the heat dissipation surface area.

The next four questions use this description. Our Sun has a peak emission wavelength of about 500 nm and a radius of about 700,000 km. Your dark-adapted eye has a pupil diameter of about 7 mm and can detect light intensity down to about 1.5 x 10-11 W/m2. Assume the emissivity of the Sun is equal to 1. First, given these numbers, what is the surface temperature of the Sun in Kelvin to 3 significant digits? What is the power output of the Sun in moles of watts? (in other words, take the number of watts and divide it by Avogadro's number) Assuming that all of the Sun's power is given off as 500 nm photons*, how many photons are given off by the Sun every second? Report your answer to the nearest power of 10 (e.g. if you got 7 x 1024, give your answer as 25).
Estimate how long it should take to bring a cup of water to boiling temperature in a typical 600-watt microwave oven, assuming that all the energy ends up in the water. (Assume any reasonable initial temperature for the water.) Explain why no heat is involved in this process.
A) Estimate the total solar heating absorbed by the Earth every second. Assume 36% of the incoming solar radiation is reflected by clouds and lost. You can assume that the Earth intercepts sunlight with an effective area of πr2 where r is Earth’s radius. B) Estimate the total heat lost by the Earth as infrared radiation every second. Assume Earth has an effective temperature of 252 K (-21 C).
